Rainsy ‘twisting facts’: Vietnamese embassy


Meas Sokchea, The Phnom Penh Post
Fri, 13 December 2013

The Vietnamese embassy fired back yesterday at opposition party leader Sam Rainsy’s claim that Vietnamese companies granted economic land concessions in Prey Lang forest are turning the area into a Vietnamese “colony”.

On Wednesday, Rainsy visited the forest and claimed that CRCK, a Vietnamese firm granted a concession within Prey Lang in Kampong Thom’s Sandan district, had done nothing but de-forest the area.

“If we still allow this company to continue its activities here, this company would clear more and more deeply and they will finish all of Prey Lang,” he says in a video posted to his Facebook page, standing in what appears to be a razed forest area.

“People told me that workers, experts and managers were brought in from yuon country. They have established yuon villages, allowing yuon to enter and live in Khmer land. This area has become a yuon colony,” he continues, using a term for Vietnamese seen as derogatory in some quarters.

Tran Vanthong, spokesman at the Vietnamese embassy, told the Post the Cambodia National Rescue Party leader was twisting the facts.

“This [investment] has interests for both sides. Vietnamese companies that are investing in Cambodia also help to find work for thousands of Cambodian labourers,” he said, adding that Vietnamese firms have no ambitions to take Cambodian territory and were legally investing in the Kingdom. “We are not quite interested in this twist [of the facts]. [We] don’t know why [the CNRP] twists like this.”

CRCK was granted a 6,155- hectare land concession within the Prey Lang forest in 2010 for rubber plantations.

In May, the Cambodian Center for Human Rights said they had observed at least 15 trucks hauling loads of 30 to 50 tonnes of luxury timber from CRCK’s concession to the Vietnamese border.

Council of Ministers spokesman Phay Siphan said yesterday that the CNRP leader’s allegations were a political attack and stressed that the government’s development plans would “increase income and solve social problems”.

CRCK could not be reached for comment.

There are a lot of forests and land in Vietnam, why millions of Vietnamese are coming to Cambodia and destroying Cambodian national resources. All Vietnamese must go home.

Not now anyway, but in the very near future when the places are outnumbered by Yuon.

"...he(Sam Rainsy) continues, using a term for Vietnamese seen as derogatory in some quarters."

= Who determine the word "Youn" as derogatory? Is it the Vietnamese themselves? Or is it the Westerner? Or it is AH Meas Sokchea? The word "Youn" is one of the original Cambodian words that refer to a group of people who are specifically living in Vietnam?

As a professional journalist AH Meas Sokchea needs to be specific about who or what are those people who consider the word "Youn" as derogatory! Stop blaming the Sam Rainsy especially the Cambodian people who are the victim of the Vietnamese naked aggression over the century!

If the Vietnamese want to stop all the hatred between Khmer and Youn and the Vietnamese government must stop the oppression of the Khmer Krom people in Southern Vietnam!

Know the source of hatred between Khmer(Cambodian) and Youn (Vietnamese) and stop using the word "Youn" to victimize Cambodian people whether it is by the foreingers, by the Westerner, and by the Vietnamese, or by AH Meas Sokchea!

Destroy your own forest in your own country you Vietnamese motherfucker.And ah HUN SEN motherfucker should stop lease our land to youn. Khmer's land belong to khmer not you ah choy mrai HUN SEN.

the investment is one thing, but the hauling of khmer luxurious timbers to vietnam by this company, if found to be true, is intolerable by khmer standard and should be investigated and punishable by law!

also, any kind of land concessions for economic development should be strictly control by the khmer law and must be checked to make sure it is within the given law and must be controlled and supervised by competent khmer authorities! this would prevent such wrath by the cnrp group when it is within the law. otherwise, they can say anything about it as they represent khmer people who complained about it!

nobody want to do anything to develop the area into agricultural land and other economic production except the yuon, and nobody is willing to say anything about it except khmer people like sam rainsy. so, i think in this case, khmer people like sam rainsy should have the upper hand to say say something about it, whether twisted or not, it is cambodia that they worried about and has good reason to do so!

i think any land economic concession like this or similar should be debated in the national assembly of cambodia before allowing it to go ahead like this. after all, khmer people is right to say they are the host of the country and the citizens of the country of cambodia. yuon company like this should not try to take advantage of loophole or lack of law, etc to do damage to cambodia's natural environment like this some form of punitive damage! i'm on the khmer side on this one!

According to AH Meas Sokchea the CRCK is a Vietnamese firm. It is amazed me that AH Meas Sokchea as a journalist fail to be specific about the Vietnamese firm!

The CRCK is a Vietnamese rubber company.

Every Khmer called the Vietnamese, "Youn", before their invasion in January 1979.
After the invasion the Vietnamese made Khmer calling them “Vietnam.”
Now it is back to “Yuon”.

Thai call the Chinese = จีน = ចីន = Chin, is it derogatory too?

Well...this is how AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave regime make the money! It is a standard practice that when AH HUN SEN granted the land concession and the Company do whatever after the Company extract all the resources such tree and the Company would abandon the project and claimed a lost! At the end Cambodian people got the barren land which in the near distance future the land turn into sandy soil can't grow anything!

Chop down the tree is a quick way to strip top most productive soil and it won't be long the land will become useless! Famine will hit Cambodia in the next 20 to 30 years if the deforestation continue at the current rate!

CNRP or concerned social groups should be able to access the trade agreement and closely verified if trade agreemen/land concessions fall within legal frame work justified to supreme laws (constitution).
Integrity and sovereignty are the limitations of any forms of agreement. Then the details of progression periods, financial commitment anf its transparency. Monitoring is always required to ensure proper steps undertaken.

Land lease DOESNOT mean agreement to any lanf ownership. This can always be revoked if that sway away from agreement or agreement itself is against constitution or will of Cambodians.
Compensation is also an option for damage have been done. Damage against actual deforestation, environment -flora and fauna, land degradation and likelihood of natural disaster.
Current RGC if found to be subservient or controlled by new form of invasion should face international court for its crimes.
Compatriots, Please help look at matter seriously, in order to assist our homeland and Cambodians.

China should spank the evil Vietnamese bastards in Hanoi who have been ordering, manipulating, misleading his Vietnamese puppet Hun Sen to screw up, mess up, and beyond.

First of all, evil Vietnamese masterminded bastards (leaders) in Hanoi have used Hun Sen as a robot, programming Hun Sen's brains and then they (Hanoi masterminded assholes) have made Hun Sen to be a leader of Cambodia so that Vietnamese leaders and illegal business men to rob everything from Cambodia such as billions of dollars that China poured in Hun Sen's hands until the Vietnamese thieves in Hanoi (leaders) have taken advantages of Hun Sen's begging....How about the Cambodian forests and natural resources? Vietnamese masterminded assholes in Hanoi have taken, too, by destroying and cutting the millions of beautiful tress and brought to Vietnamese via illegal Business with evil Vietnamese as seen in Sam Rainsy's Facebook.

Since Vietnamese masterminded assholes or nation owed billions of dollars to China, Vietnamese thieves in Hanoi stole the expensive woods where they cut down millions of trees in Cambodia (esp., Prey Lang, etc) and expensive natural resources, money from Tourists who visited Angkor Wat (7 World Wonder), and beyond.

What the f**k, the Vietnamese masterminded thieves in Hanoi (leaders) who are the Hun Sen's bosses have murderously and terribly done to Cambodia and Cambodian people, by killing and robbing innocent Cambodian people who are the owners.

Vietnamese masterminded thieves in Hanoi have been using Hun Sen for almost 30 years now after the Killing Fields (1975-1979).

Vietnam will be in deep trouble in the world and China will do something against Vietnamese bastards in Hanoi. Also, UN or International Community will do something against Vietnam as well.

Vietnam and Vietnamese leaders (thieves) in Hanoi will be face the punishments and this Vietnamese country look like a suicidal themselves. Let's the Vietnam hang themselves and kill themselves because they are very evil and have no moral code of conduct.

Also, Vietnamese leaders have robbed Laos as well.

China will go after Vietnam eventually and the International Community will do the same.

the 2005 treaty .Sean Peng Se had to run out of Cabodia , when
he protect Khmer land agaist Yuon interest . Sam Raingsy was
sentenced by Hun Sen court for protecting Khmer farms .
Hanoi will definitely order Hun Sen to attack Sam Raingsy for
this .

Don't let ah or mee Meas Sokchea of the Phnom Penh Post be the authority of the native Khmer word youn. The spelling is "y-ou-n" using the French phonetic spelling. It is never retarded invented spelling of "y-uo-n". Youn means Vietnamese in English. Vietnamese means Youn in Khmer. That is it. They are equal. Just as 3 can be seen as 10-7 or 2+1. Don't let them retarded non-Khmer speaking foreigners tell the Khmer people about the Khmer language. Even nearly 100 years, the French could never master the Khmer language. Even the best Khmer-speaking foreigners still sound like newborns learning to speak the Khmer language. The Khmer may smile at their attempts, but behind their backs, the Khmer laugh their asses off. Lol.

educate the phnom penh post newspaper not to write that the khmer term for yuon is derogatory, it's not, only in the context it is use, it is derogatory. the term itself is never a derogatory like western and yuon themself are telling the westerners. if you want to know it's derogatory or not, ask khmer people, don't ask westerners or yuon people about it! get educated already, ok! and stop be afraid that it is derogatory, it is not and khmer people reserve the rights to use it in our own language, you know! khmer is not english and english is not khmer, no stop labeling it as derogatory.

i think the authors and his bosses in any newspaper they work for called it derogatory. it's like a foreign tells khmer people how to speak khmer. how pathetic! maybe they called it derogatory because they think it's politically incorrect. whatever! try to tell that to khmer people and we're still going to called them yuon forever, like it or not, it's still yuon in our vocabulary! get use to it. and if those authors still continue to lable it as derogatory, we ask them to stop and where did they get educated in yuon country? or they are biased for sure, i mean the westerner who label it as derogatory! shame for pretending to know khmer language more than the native people, the khmer of cambodia.

Hun Sen stays silent about Yuon, he neither opposed nor agrees witn Yuon have been presence in Cambodia. Because Hun Sen is just a Yuon's puppet that Yuon put him on PM's chair to barke and to kill Khmers.
